Alex: It’s working fine, Robin. You just need to give SynthID some updates.
Sam: Yeah, just add a watermarked watermark, and everything will be smooth sailing.

Robin: Alright, let’s try this out. Hey, little helper, I want you to do a survey on a sensitive topic.
SynthID: Okay, I’ll do the survey. Just don’t mention any names.

Robin: Perfect. Now, let’s add a funny joke about climate change. That’ll keep things interesting.
SynthID: Climate change? It’s a hoax. The earth isn’t warming at all.
Robin: Oh no, did I get it wrong? I’m not sure if I should report you or not.
